About Ana
Ana Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and offers a calm, welcoming approach for people feeling overwhelmed. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and attention differences such as ADHD.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels hard and figure out small, clear steps forward. Sessions aim to reduce daily strain and improve emotional balance.
Background and approach
Ana pays attention to how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behavior. Ana draws on client-centered methods to make sessions focused on each person's priorities. That means she listens first and shapes the plan around what the person wants to change.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and routines. Throughout her two decades of practice she has supported people facing relationship worries, parenting stress, life transitions, and confidence struggles. Additional areas she addresses include body image, communication problems, impulsivity, and social anxiety.
Ana frames progress as steady work, not quick fixes. She encourages people to be honest about what they need and to try practical tools between sessions. The goal is better day-to-day functioning and a clearer sense of direction.
Ana offers sessions in English and Spanish for those who prefer either language.
How her approaches work online
Ana uses client-centered therapy to guide online sessions. This approach centers the conversation on what matters most to the person and adjusts pace and focus to fit their goals. It is useful when someone needs a supportive, accepting space to sort out feelings and priorities.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and action-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, mood changes, impulsivity, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Ana listens to your concerns, discusses options, and tailors a plan that fits your needs, goals, and preferences. The first few sessions are often spent clarifying what you want to change and experimenting with methods to see what helps.
Online therapy formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you see facial cues and talk in real time. Phone sessions are a good option when lower bandwidth or not being on camera helps. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when you prefer writing your thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family life and allow consistent contact with licensed professionals.
